These are the tales of the creation of the model of the Isle of Stoner Railway. It is a 009 model being 4mm to the foot or thereabouts.

Paint it black

Last evening I got out the black masonry paint and painted the front profile board which tidies up the look of that no end. I also painted inside the tunnel black which helps with the illusion of tunnelness.

I also constructed, painted and installed some more bits and bobs around the pub which just add a little bit of detail. The pub garden table also gained a family enjoying the sunshine and a drink while watching out for trains.

The shop front still needs a little tidying up and there is still a need for some fencing to keep the cattle off the track but otherwise I'm pretty happy with the look of things... apart from the sky. I've a day off on Monday so will have a bash at the MK2 version.

About Me

I am the benign dictator of the Isle of Stoner which is a small but perfect Island which lies roughly one hundred miles south of Newquay, Cornwall. The sun always shines and the population are always happy.
